Trying to fit 33w's into my car.

[wheelieman_dan]

I have a 14 inch rim, and I'm trying to fit a 33w in my car. How much clearance for growth do I need between the top of my tire and the underside of my tub? Do any of you know how much these tires grow? I'm trying to get the same ride hight I had with 31's and I'm concerned with the clearance.

i have actually talked to the guys over at m/t about this (i was building a car with limited room above the tire at desired ride height)and their tech guy told me a 33 grows 3/4" on a 10"rim at 160mph.that was kind of hard to believe.he also never heard of anyone putting his tires on a 15/15 beadlock and going 200+mph,nice tech dept!anyways i would try to get at least 2.5" at the one o'clock position(the tire grows but is also thrown forward) at ride height.
